Lady Rose (Lily James) is presented in London and at her debutante ball, she dances with the Prince of Wales, who later, albeit briefly, became Edward VIII before abdicating the throne to enable him to marry Wallis Simpson.
From season 4 episode 9: The Crawleys are implicated in a scandal that threatens to engulf the monarchy. Robert goes to great lengths to protect the royal family, and his own.
We should start the dancing, and I think it would be nice if you began it with Rose.
Family duty comes in many forms. Wait a minute, what's this?
Lady Granson, I know we're just crashers and we haven't been invited. Well, I haven't anyway.
But we hoped you wouldn't mind. You honour this house with your presence,
sir. I don't know if the dancing's started yet,
but perhaps His Royal Highness and Rose could... Would you permit me to open the ball?
If she isn't a darling of London society after a kick-off like this, it won't be his fault.
Are you glad you came? I mean, these are your people now. You must remember that. This is
your family. This may be my family, but these are not quite
my people. That sounds like a challenge.
Well, here's another. Would you like to dance? Well, are you sure? Well, then I accept the
challenge. I know I can trust you to steer. How did you manage this?
I told him in his whole life he'd never earn more to anyone than he does to Rose.
And did you tell him why? Certainly not. But he trusts me. He's a faithful
little chap. So am I, Freda. Annoyingly, so am I.
